Questions are now being asked about the legal implications of the Dolezal story and what it means. There have been concerns that Dolezal’s deception could have a negative effect on the efforts of the NAACP. Over the years, she led protests and rallies calling for racial equality. The NAACP’s initial response to the story was to support Dolezal and say that they expected her to continue in her position. But Dolezal decided it would be better for all concerned if she simply resigned.

The NAACP still supports her, because skin color doesn’t matter. But it continues to be a problem that America hasn’t solved.
